Ever get the feeling this guy was at the cutting edge of everything? From distortion to feedback, it feels like he was one of the first rock n rollers to experiment with everything.

One of the very few Native Americans in Rock. I was really glad to see Tarantino include this classic hit in Pulp Fiction to help introduce it to a new generation. It's from 1958 but it sounds like 1960s.

He was very big in the DC area and lived in nearby Accokeek for many years, which was home to another guitar legend – Danny Gatton. My favorite was one of his lesser known tracks called Jack the Ripper. The sounds were way ahead of the time.

When most people think of Link Wray, it's power chords, and a 'soundtrack' to 1950's gang fights, with zip guns, bike chains and knives.
Okay, it's just power chords, but his country folk/blues output from the early 70's was pretty interesting, as was his mid to late 70's funk, and rockabilly.
Unfortunately, when compared to his earlier career, this later output is not looked upon as favorably.
